SECTION I
GENERAL INFORMATION
1-1. DESCRIPTION
1-2. The Model 4328A Milliohmmeter (Fig. 1-1) is
a portable instrument designed to measure low resist-
ance with speed and accuracy. Covering a resistance
range of. OOH2 to 100!1, the mstrument uses a Kelvin
Bridge method to obtain high sensitivtty Although
the 4 terminal method is used to insure accuracy,
only 2 probes placed on each end of the sample are
used
m
the actual measurement.
1-3. To avoid measurement errors due to thermal
emfs, contact potential differences and electrolytic
polarization, the measurement utilizes a 1kHz :::ilgnal
and is msensitive to d . . c errors. '
1-4. In the measurement of contact res1stance of
components used in low level s1gnal circuits, swttches.,
relays and connectors, the measurement voltage ap-
plied should be less than 20m V peak so that thm insu-
lating films are protected from breakdown With the
4328A, voltage across samples 1s less than 200t.tV
peak on any range (when proper range setting used).,
and a maximum voltage of 20mV if incorrect range
settings are used.
1-5. The 4328A can be used to measure heat-sensitive

samples because the power dissipatwn in samples is
very low. Voltage applied to samples is automahcally
llm1ted to permit safe measurement of fuses and ex-
plosives
1-6. A unique phase dLscriminator in the meter cir-
cuit_ insures accurate measurement of samples with
senes reactance up to twLce full scale reststance . .
1-7. 150V superimposed de bias may be present on
samples durmg measurement. Thus, direct measur~
ment oi mcremental resistance of back biased diodes
may be performed, permithng use of the 4328A in the
design of semiconductor circuitry.
